Holm used her stuff right hand jab to keep the game Prazek from coming forward to get in close to cause any damage.

After the fight Holm saw a video on the big screen from Welterweight Champion Cecilia Braekhus issuing a challenge July 13th in Las Vegas, Nevada. Holm said she would take a vacation before thinking forward to a showdown with Braekhus.

Holm who was originally Myriam Lamare, but Lamare suffered an injury and had to pull out of their 2009 rematch which Holm won by unanimous decision, in stepped in Prakak the WIBA Lightweight Champion.

The fight was pretty much the same script throughout with Holm using her substantial reach to pepper the smaller Prazak with right hand jabs and quick left to the head of Prazak. Prazak to her credit kept pressure and was able to land a few hard left hooks to Holm’s head but Holm would reset and get back to her game plan.

After the fight, both Holm and Prazak praised each other for being warriors and being tough opponents for each.

“My main concern was Diana tonight not a challenge from Braekhus, that’s something I can think about after the holidays, I had to deal with this tough champion in front of me and that was my main concern.” Said Holm.

“I always want to fight the best. “stated Prazak. “It was an honor to fight Holly, when I got the chance I jump at the opportunity but I’m still the lightweight champion of the world so I’m have no complaints.

Holm now will look to take a break and then her promoter Lenny Fresquez and trainer Mike Winkeljohn will decide if it is monetarily beneficial to fight Braekhus on the challenged date of July 13th in Las Vegas, Nevada.
